In the Dungeons & Dragons: Temple of Elemental Evil Board Game, you are a heroic adventurer. With amazing abilities, spells and magic weapons, you must explore the dungeons beneath the Sword Coast where you will battle monsters, overcome hazards and find treasure. Are you prepared for adventure?

Temple of Elemental Evil comes with multiple scenarios, challenging quests, and co-operative game play designed for 1-5 players. The contents can also be used with other D&D Adventure System Cooperative play board games, including The Legend of Drizzt and Castle Ravenloft.

Each player chooses a hero, such as a fighter, cleric, or wizard. On their turn, each player can explore deeper into the dungeon (turn over new tiles), move through the already explored parts of the dungeon, and fight monsters. When a new dungeon tile is revealed, there is usually an encounter of some sort, and new monsters to fight are added. Slain monsters reward the players with treasure, and experience points, letting them level up and increase their skills during play. Players must cooperate to stay alive, defeat the monsters, and achieve the goal of their quest. Each scenario has a different aim , from retrieving a relic to slaying a large boss monster.
